Using INDOcyanine Green to Analyse Ovarian Vascularization After Ovarian Laparoscopic CYStectomy
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
To evaluate the feasibility of using Indocyanine Green in the laparoscopic surgical treatment of benign organic ovarian cysts (dermoid, serous, mucinous and endometriotic) in patients with a short-term desire for pregnancy. The use of Indocyanine Green during this surgery could allow early evaluation of the absence of alteration of the underlying ovary by the cystectomy. To do so, the fluorescence scores (indocyanine green staining) need to be compared to the ovarian reserve of the patient, previously verified intraoperatively and postoperatively at M6 and M12, these scores being determined according to the vascularization visualized in laparoscopy and established both by a double visual notation (Likert scale) and by a computer software (METAMORPH) objective notation. This procedure would, in patients with fertility disorders or wishing for pregnancy in the short run, reassure them about their reproductive potential immediately after the intervention. In the event of poor staining, if correlated by a decrease in ovarian reserve, the concerned patients could be referred to a MPA treatment facility much earlier in the postoperative period or, if no desire for immediate pregnancy, towards fertility preservation methods.

Use of Indocyanine Green in laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy
During intraperitoneal cystectomy or Plasmajet destruction of the cyst, as a benign organic cyst requiring surgical treatment, peroperatively, at the end of the cystectomy procedure, injection by the anesthetist on a peripheral venous route of a bolus of Indocyanine green diluted 0.2mg / kg. Installation of the SPIES camera system (KARL STORZ GmbH \& Co.KG, Tuttlingen, Germany). Evaluation of the degree of fluorescence at the location of cystectomy or destruction of the cyst. A fluorescence score between 0 and 4 (on the model of a Likert scale) will be used for the evaluation of fluorescence. A second reading of the Likert scale results will be carried out by a second inspector so that the score is as objective as possible. Then, second evaluation technique realized by the METAMORPH software, which will assign a raw and objective score according to the fluorescence visualized.
